UPDATE: ESPN #5 overall and #2 post player, Sidney Cooks, has committed to Michigan State. SC was in her top 10 but did not make her top 5, which also consisted of Michigan, Purdue, Wisconsin and UCLA.

UPDATE: ESPN #33 overall and #9 guard, Destiny Littleton, has reopened her recruitment after Cynthia Cooper-Dyke resigned from the University of Southern Cal. She hasn't released a list of top schools yet and is probably in the process of reopening those connections.

Worth noting, South Carolina was in Littleton's top 5 and with the departure of Tiffany Davis after this season will have room to add another player to the 2017 class if they needed.

It would not surprise me to see another proven player transfer in and go after top rated high school players for the next 2 classes.

Looks like ESPNW updated their recruit rankings for the 2017 class and USC now will have three 5 stars on campus next season as Bianca Jackson leaps from #54/95/4 star to #43/96/5 star. She goes from #11 to #10 Wing in the 2017 class.

Li Li Grissett moves up one from #24 to #23. LaDahzia Williams moves down one to #48, ironically, possibly due to Jackson's ascension.

I don't understand why there would be 40+ five stars. That's just too many in my opinion.

There is not a set amount of 5*, 4*, etc. The number fluctuates (as it should) based on the talent levels for a particular year. If you want to be accurate, that is the right way to do it. To rate a 5* talent as a 4* because you are capping the number is not being accurate.

In other words, the service is saying that 2018 is shaping up to be a very good year in terms of talent.
